Zendikar

October 2, 2009 - 249 Cards

Its tagline is "Deadly perils, Priceless treasures". Unlike the previous two blocks, there is no multicolored theme (every colored card in the set is monocolored). Instead, the set themes around lands. Cards with the Landfall mechanic have effects that are triggered when a land comes into play. Adding to the land theme, there are a number of non-basic lands, including lands with a variety of enters-the-battlefield effects that were formerly restricted to creatures.

The first cards revealed from the set were a selection of basic lands, each printed with both a traditional frame and a full-art frame. There is a new subtype of card called Trap, which modifies the cost of casting a spell dependent on certain actions being performed by the opponent.

A new keyword mechanic, Intimidate, makes a creature unable to be blocked except by artifact creatures and creatures that share a color with the creature; in Zendikar and future sets, this mechanic will replace Fear, a similar ability that was restricted largely to black cards.Finally, a new class of creatures, Allies, have abilities that trigger when an Ally enters the battlefield. Zendikar also contains three Planeswalkers: Nissa Revane, who first appeared in the Xbox 360 game Duels of the Planeswalkers; Sorin Markov, an all-new vampire character; and a second version of Chandra Nalaar, Chandra Ablaze, as previously foreshadowed in the novel The Purifying Fire.

To promote the priceless treasures tagline of Zendikar, original, authentic vintage cards were inserted into a limited number of booster packs, replacing the basic land. These cards were for collector and incentive purposes only, and were largely not legal for sanctioned Zendikar block play. 

Magic 2010

The Magic 2010 expansion set, that was released on July 17, 2009. It is the eleventh core set for Magic: the Gathering. Since Beta (which included two cards accidentally left out of the original Alpha) it is the first Core Set to feature new cards. In addition to new cards about half of the cards are reprints.

Magic 2010 (or M10 for short) marks a major shift in the way WOTC produces and markets the "Core" set of their marquee trading card game.

Another important marketing change is that starting with Magic 2010, Wizards of the Coast will release a new core set every year, instead of every two years, as it has done since 1995.

Wizards decided to introduce new cards into M10 (which comprise somewhat less than half of the set, with the remainder being reprints) so that the Core set could serve as a true introduction to the game, instead of a collection of recent notable cards.

M10 is the first core set to include "mythic rares" as well as the first core set to include planeswalkers, a relatively new card type which was first introduced in 2007. All five of the initial set of planeswalkers from the Lorwyn Expansion are reprinted in M10 as mythic rares.

Wizards of the Coast has also overhauled the core ruleswith the introduction of Magic 2010. The changes included the renaming of several zones and actions of the game, eliminate the 'mana burn' aspect of the game and, more relevant for gameplay, an alteration to the way combat damage is assigned. This was the first major alteration of the game rules since the introduction of rules in 1999, and was instituted to make the game more streamlined and intuitive; previous damage-assignment rules, for instance, would allow a creature to, in the words of Rules Manager Mark Gottlieb, "swing its fist to punch, vanish from the battlefield, and [still] have that punch land."
